zabbix_agent [29656]: Cannot open config file [/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent.conf] [No suc

[infante797]

I am installing the zabbix_agent in one of my servers but when I execute the command:

serv20:/etc/init.d/# zabbix_agent start

I see the next result Error message:

zabbix_agent [29656]: Cannot open config file [/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent.conf] [No such file or directory]

And the file is and is in the next path:

serv20:/etc/init.d# ls -l /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root zabbix 5131 2010-09-08 13:43 /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

can any body help me?


Thanks a lot in advance.

Greetings,

-rw-r--r-- 1 root zabbix 5131 2010-09-08 13:43 /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

Right off the bat, I would suggest checking to ensure that the Zabbix user has directory access permission to /etc/zabbix. The easiest way to do this is to su to zabbix, using zabbix's profile and doing an ls -la /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

Take a much closer look at the error and notice about the zabbix_agentd.conf and zabbix_agent.conf

Those are different files.. for the daemon and for "manual" launch..

zabbix_agent [29656]: Cannot open config file [/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent.conf] [No such file or directory]

And the file is and is in the next path:

serv20:/etc/init.d# ls -l /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root zabbix 5131 2010-09-08 13:43 /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
